It’s Wednesday once again, so here are this week’s comic book recommendations by Hector Navarro, Whitney Moore, and Amy Dallen:

Whitney’s Pick

8House: Arclight #2
Story by Brandon Graham and Art by Marian Churchland

Whitney’s pick this week is 8House: Arclight #2, from Image Comics. The story takes place in a deeply rich and expansive fantasy world, which has proven to be the main draw of the comic so far- especially paired with Marian Churchland‘s incredible, ethereal art. A young woman of nobility has traded bodies with an alien and is now living on the edge of the forest. Even though that’s about all the plot readers know at this point, it’s an otherworldy universe she’s excited to get to know. Plus, there’s blood rituals and death priests, so it’s dark and creepy along with beautiful. Awesome!

Hector’s Pick

Red Sonja Conan #1
Story by Gail Simone and Jim Zub and Art by Dan Panosian

A classic barbarian action, starring the characters that know what is best in life. These legends team up to lead an army against a powerful sorcerer, all while being SUPER attracted to one another, but also SUPER respecting each other as the warriors they are.

Amy’s Pick

Ms. Marvel #17
Story by G. Willow Wilson and Art By Adrian Alphona

This is it! Kamala Khan, the best new hero to hit the comics world in years, comes face to face with Carol Danvers, the idol whose heroic alias she, er… borrowed. But don’t worry, it’s not the end of the world–oh, wait. Yes it is. The team-up we’ve been waiting for in one of the best books going (Eisner nominated this year for Best New Series), Ms. Marvel #17 by G. Willow Wilson and Adrian Alphona should be at the top of your list.
